INSIDE THE EPISODE There’s a common, often overlooked, dietary imbalance that may be increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, pain, and mental health issues.
That imbalance lies in the type of fats we consume, or the essential omega-6 (think seeds oils) and omega-3 (think fish and leafy greens) fats.
While our ancestors evolved with a balanced ratio, today we consume about 20x more omega 6 fatty acids which many experts, like this week’s podcast guest, Dr. Simopoulos, a world authority on essential fatty acids and former nutritional adviser to the White House, believes it is responsible for our skyrocketing rates of disease.
So in this week’s podcast we’ll explore how this imbalance crept into our modern diets, why it’s driving so many of today’s chronic health issues, and what you can do to turn it around.
If you’ve ever wondered why inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue are so common—or why omega-3s are considered essential—this episode is for you!
Dr. Simopoulos unpacks:
The surprising sources of omega-6 overload
The importance of prostaglandins (and what they are!)
The powerful benefits of omega-3s for your brain, heart, and longevity
And the simple steps you can take to restore balance and feel your best.
It’s a fascinating look at how something as seemingly small as a ratio can have such a profound impact on your health.
So grab your favorite snack, tune in, and learn how to eat for optimal health! <3

According to Dr. Knobbe, at the end of the American Civil War:
Only about 1% of the population was obese
Heart disease was almost unheard of
Cancer and diabetes were exceedingly rare
Alzheimer’s and age-related macular degeneration were unknown
In other words, chronic disease was rare in America, which is not the case today.
Although animal fats, sugar, and carbohydrates often take the blame for our rising disease rates, Dr. Knobbe's new book, The Ancestral Diet Revolution, argues that the real dietary villains are the vegetable oils that have replaced traditional animal fats.
Tune in to this week’s podcast to uncover why seed oils might be more critical to avoid than sugar, along with these fascinating insights:
What seed oils were used for before they became food
Why sugar consumption (and maybe even carbs) may be less dangerous than seed oils
The two mechanisms by which vegetable oils cause issues in the body
What OXLAMS are and why they should concern us
How vegetable oils can lead to fatigue and weight gain
What to eat on a truly ancestral diet
How to choose healthful animal products
And so much more!
Dr. Knobbe’s extensive research into this subject blew me away, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.

You’ve likely heard that polyunsaturated fats (omega-3’s and omega-6’s) are essential for health, but what you might now know is that the balance between them is equally as important.
In fact, over the last few decades our intake of the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid (yes, the one found in seed oils) has increased dramatically while our intake of omega-3’s has dwindled.
Which means most Americans today - have a very imbalanced omega ratio.
According to this week’s podcast expert, author and zoologist, Dr. Anthony Hulbert, who has been studying the omega balance for decades, this is likely one reason rates of inflammation, heart disease, obesity and mental health issues are on the rise.
His book was one of my all-time favorites and I highly, highly recommend you tune in now to learn more about the surprising and well-documented effects of this widespread imbalance and what you can do to improve yours! Here are some of my favorite takeaways:
